In 2012, I marked my Instagram debut with a heavily filtered close-up of our family cat, kitty. Five years and some trial and error later, I claimed the handle @audtay, and the rest was history. 

Using social media to offer an inside look into my world felt exciting. Then I was hooked by the art of crafting the perfect story and challenging the norms of an aesthetic grid. What started as a love for authentic expression evolved into a passion for curating content, storytelling, and connecting with others. 

Before joining the professional world, I studied at Ohio State, where I received the Top Scholar of Communication Award in 2023 and was heavily involved in our Public Relations Student Society of America chapter. I also worked for The Lantern, Ohio State's student-run newspaper, and played club water polo. I held internship positions with the School of Communication and a local podcast and athleisure brand, where I honed my skills in communication.

Today, I am a communications professional at HBI, the company behind iconic innerwear brands like Hanes, Bonds, Maidenform, and Bali. I bring a creative lens to every project – whether we’re developing messaging strategies, engaging associates, or crafting a company report. 

When I'm not working, you'll find me catching up on reality TV, thrifting at your local Goodwill, or traveling the globe – vlogging along the way.
